So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints πŸ’— This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use πŸ™‚ http://www.stephcoley.com http://www.facebook.com/StephanieSianColeyFineArtist Comments, likes, shares & subscribers are always welcomed πŸ’— ______ Music: Someday Musician: Alexander Delarge URL: https://icons8.com/music

As for free NHS treatment... Well, still no initial gender clinic appointment. Over three years I've been waiting so far πŸ™„ Checked tonight and due to lovely Covid the current NHS gender clinic waiting times have risen to 44 months πŸ˜ƒ You kinda have to laugh, otherwise you'd get stupidly and probably dangerously depressed πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’— (51/365) #photoadaychallenge #transgender #transition #gender #female #nhs #genderclinic #

Last night was the final Zoom Collage class in my latest course. So for those that are taking a break from this... I hope you all enjoyed the fun creative Weds evening sessions. I love running this course, especially via Zoom and it's been one of the few unexpected delights of this Covid lockdown madness πŸ˜€

For those that will be returning for the next block of classes... Enjoy your week off and I'll see you again in a couple of weeks πŸ’—

For those who fancy joining the class... I'll be starting another 6 week block of weekly collage classes on Weds 24th Feb (7.00 until 9.00) via Zoom. Β£48 for the 6 weeks. I do have a few empty slots, so please contact me or comment if you're keen and need any further info πŸ™‚
